Hello everyone,

I am new here and I am working on creating custom objects in HubSpot.  
I want to have a property in my object that is a HubSpot user something like this

| Seller owner | string | HubSpot user |
| --- | --- | --- |

How can I achieve this? I am using HubSpot Developer Docs portal to create the custom object.  
Thank you!  
Bests,  
A

@ADedja

Assuming you want to do this programmatically, you can query the [Owners API](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/owners/get_owners)

to get a list of available HubSpot users. You can then use this information to use the patch method for the custom object api to update that property

Hi @ADedja ,  
You can create a new property named as seller owner in the object by using the doc [here](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/crm-properties/create-property).  
Hope this helps!
